A former captain in the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office could soon be heading to prison after a jury convicted him on felony bribery and conspiracy charges this week.
Jensen, a former spokesperson for the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, conspired with the chief executive officer and a middle manager from AS Solution Inc., an international security company. The company offered a $90,000 bribe in exchange for 10 to 12 Carry Concealed Weapon permits for its executive protection agents, according to prosecutors.
“For the average member of the public, no matter how pressing or justified their need, if they follow the procedure … and mail in an application, it will not be reviewed,” Rosen said in 2020. “However, if you are, in the words of Sheriff’s Captain James Jensen, a ‘VIP,’ then he will meet you at Starbucks, personally review your application and help you fill it out.”
